We see Jesus' disciples here after Jesus had just performed a miracle. Jesus had just took two fish and five loaves and fed five thousand people. Jesus let the disciples go on, and He let the crowd go too. He let them get on back and in this passage He goes up on this mountain and He is praying. The bible says that he looked out into the sea. The disciples had gone on and they were rowing. They were trying but the winds and the waves were beating against the boat and they are just rowing – rowing – rowing. In the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them. We can see Jesus going to those disciples here. But at first they looked out there and they see this thing on the water. They didn’t recognize him. They thought it was a ghost; they thought it was a spirit and they began to cry out. They were afraid but Jesus told them be of good cheer. He said “It is I, be not afraid”. Now, Peter was one of those well outspoken guys. Peter says “Lord, if it be you bid me to come to you on the water. Bid me to come”. We see one miracle - we see Jesus has already performed one miracle and fed five thousand. We see another miracle: He is walking on the water, and then he tells Peter, “Come”.
